Clearing your cache is generally the same process for most popular web browsers with minor differences in each step. Here, we will walk you through exactly how to clear your cache within the most popular web browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

 

Note: Clearing your cache will require sites to reload images and data, meaning that initial page-load times may take a bit longer. Clearing your cookies will sign you out of websites and will require you to log back in.
